I Am Not Your Help Document

A select group of my coworkers can't think for themselves. Perhaps it's not so much a "can't" as a "won't." Perhaps they are plagued by a laziness even more severe than my own. Whatever the case may be, I get asked a lot of questions that, in my opinion, could easily be answered if said person were to try finding the answer herself. Microsoft products have large help sections. They may not always be the easiest or most intuitive things to use, but if you're a master over your patience then you will eventually find your answer. Or, just look it up on the interwebs. I'm not hoarding all the help information from every application I've ever used. I am not the gatekeeper of knowledge in our company. So, for the sake of my sanity and your mortality, spend some time trying to solve the problem yourself before asking for my help.
